Chapter 488: Conspiracy in the Night
In the backyard of the restaurant, it was late at night, but the candlelight was still the same, Zhang Yuanqian was talking about the heat, when it came to the most taboo private soldier issue in the imperial court, looking at Zhang Yuan's deep worry, Qian Tongzhong couldn't help laughing, and said with confidence: "Private soldier? Where? Everyone has forgotten that our Lord Zhang Yuan Zhang is a military general. β
Zhang Yuan and his two brothers are inexplicably confused, what does this support of private soldiers have to do with whether they are military generals or not?
When Nazanhua heard it, he suddenly realized, clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother Wenju is so calculating." β
"What's going on? The two of you don't want to play dumb riddles with brothers. Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked.
Nazanhua smiled and said, "But I have to break down one or two for Master Zhang, brother." So he stood up and spread out triumphantly.
"Willing to listen to the teachings." Zhang Yuan hurriedly asked respectfully.
Nazanhua didn't look at Zhang Yuan's anxious look, and took a sip of wine slowly, before he picked up the shelf and said: "Lord Zhang is a military attachΓ©, according to the unwritten rules of the current imperial court, military attaches can support pro-soldiers and generals, and the pro-soldiers and generals of the imperial court are all to be prepared in the case, but they do not issue food and pay equipment, everything has to be funded by the generals themselves, this is the family Ding pro-soldier system, I think at the beginning, Qi Jiguang is so trained to become a force, become a legend, and also get the reward of the imperial court, Lord Zhang, ah no, it is General Zhang, Isn't that exactly what is in place? According to the practice of the imperial court, as long as General Zhang takes the money, he can support up to three thousand. Which one can still say anything? β
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he suddenly realized and applauded together. Some things that seem to be difficult to do, just a slight workaround can be easily solved.
Qian Tong said slowly: "But now Lord Zhang, these three thousand townsmen can't stand alone, and at the same time, if we just cooperate with the official army, then we people will never be able to get ahead,"
That's a word.
"Master Zhang, don't worry, I think Brother Wenju has already planned for you." Looking at Zhang Yuan's sad face, Nazanhua smiled and comforted.
"The governor is worried that Lord Zhang's soldiers will cause a lot of discussion in the court, and there is also a suspicion that the future will not be lost, so I gave the governor an idea." When Qian Tong said this, he drank a glass of wine leisurely and sold it.
"What's the idea?" Everyone asked together, and they really admired the wisdom of this Qian Tong in their hearts, and they did just such a little thing, and they did it without leaking. It is impossible for any of you to do that.
Qian Tong proudly slapped his wine glass and said proudly: "That is why I stood in the position of the governor and made a stumbling block for Lord Zhang." β
Zhang Yuan asked unconcernedly: "What kind of stumbling block did the adult make for Zhang?" β
"Hahahaha, that is to co-opt and divide and disintegrate Lord Zhang's subordinates, so that your group checks and balances each other, different families, and suspicion of each other."
Zhang Yuan didn't take it seriously at all, but he was more interested and asked hurriedly. "Don't sell it, my lord, and tell me about this scourge and my plan, and I hate you so much."
As soon as Zhang Yuan's words came out, he immediately caused a happy laugh in the room.
Qian Tong said: "That is, transfer some of your subordinate brothers out to set up a separate portal, such as the little seventeen brothers I am optimistic about, I will transfer them to the garrison system, and drop Xiao Qi to Yanchuan to be a deputy thousand households." β
The two children were overjoyed at that time, but on the surface they also wanted to show their loyalty, so they stood up in a hurry and wanted to speak.
Zhang Yuan waved his hand to stop their brother and said: "Don't be busy to show your loyalty, they are all your own brothers, I believe it, or wait for the adults to make arrangements next." β
"This time, Li Yuanhao's gang wiped out the army guarding Yan'an, and this Yan'an can become an empty city without soldiers and generals, and the governor is in a panic all day, so I will arrange Xiao Seventeen in this position, become a Yan'an garrison, recruit people and other special defense of Yan'an, which requires at least three or five thousand soldiers."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, he applauded loudly, although Xiao Seventeen joined the official army, he was under the jurisdiction of the capital department, and he was guarding this Yan'an, wouldn't it still be close to his left? Especially when a small hundred households were promoted to a garrison all of a sudden, as well as the three or five thousand soldiers, this is another big strength of the Zhang family.
Xiao Seventeen knew the depths, so he hurriedly stood up and gave Qian Tong a deep salute, thanking him for his cultivation and support, and at the same time expressing his loyalty in front of everyone.
"Xiao Seventeen's three thousand soldiers and horses are counting on the money, grain and equipment allocated by the imperial court, which is not counted on at all, so my idea to the governor is that this part of the grain and grass still has to fall on the shoulders of Lord Zhang, only in this way can the governor open the door of convenience and let us have an opportunity invisibly."
"That's nature, it's in our hands, and I'm duty-bound." Zhang Yuan said excitedly.
"Although Xiao Qi is a deputy thousand households, but the matter is artificial, with Lord Zhang's money, it can completely empty thousands of households, and the number of 1,000 soldiers has also become our strength." Then he turned to smile and said, "As for whether you eat empty or not, that's your problem." β
This statement can be regarded as a beating, but these made Xiao Qi hurriedly stand up and arch his hand: "How dare you do your own business?" Not only that, but I also have to squeeze out some money and food here, and recruit Ding Zhuang, a homeless writer, as a master, but in fact, he is still a soldier. β
Everyone nodded their heads, and they were full of confidence.
"In this way, we can have nearly 10,000 soldiers in hand, I will collude with you in the governor to plan, Lord Zhang and Lord Zanhua work together to dispatch in the center, and the brothers are dedicated to exercising the army in the periphery, why should we worry that we can't live in peace in this troubled world, make meritorious contributions, and get promoted."
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of applause, and Zhang Yuan raised his glass again and again.
"However, it will take time for us to do this, and we can't let that Lu Shi kid develop with peace of mind." Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said.
"That's exactly what happened." Qian Tong nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is not difficult, I see that Lu Shi is bent on entering Weinan, so we will add a little block to him." β
"Will the plan be released?" Nazan asked with interest.
"Huanglong has an iron eagle pole and tens of thousands of horses, we can win it over, if not, we can spend some silver money to provoke the local officials and soldiers to be brave and make enemies with Lu Shi."
Zhang Yuan nodded, as long as he could cause trouble for Lu Shi's thieves, Zhang Yuan would definitely be happy to see what he could do, especially when he was cracking down on thieves this time, he also collected a lot, and there was more and more money and food, so why not?
So he said angrily: "Qian Zhongjun can rest assured, as long as he can repay the kindness of the court and the revenge of his father, even if he is bankrupt, there is no other thing." β
Qian Zhongjun laughed and said, "Bankrupt? You Zhang Yuan frame me, as soon as the war starts, it will be ten thousand taels of gold, where do you want to go bankrupt? β
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yuan's face flushed with shame, and he quickly stood up, poured wine for Qian Zhongjun with a wine jug, and said: "Don't blame my lord, it's just that the prime minister has made up his mind, and he doesn't dare to say that the gold is ten thousand taels, but there are still some profits in the market, and I am not the god of wealth passing by?" Is it good for everyone, come on, for our upcoming opening, drink one. β
Qian Tong laughed, although he was on a boat, he had to make some things clear in a vague way, if he couldn't afford to make it unprofitable, wouldn't it be in vain?
"The next step is to use the Governor's mental policy of Zhao'an, and we will use some means to recruit Huanglong as our cannon fodder, strengthen our strength, and launch the oppression of Luochuan thieves."
"Good, good, good." Nazanhua said yes in a row, toasted himself three times in a row, and said: "In this way, you can get strength, and you can sell the governor well, isn't it a complete beauty?" Regardless of victory or defeat, we are all in hand, Qian Zhongjun, I am not as good as you. As he spoke, he staggered to his feet and toasted Qian Tong.
Qian Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, working with this person who saw that he was happy to hunt and did not have a city government, sooner or later it would be a mistake and omission, and he must remind Zhang Yuan that at the right time, it is only right to let this praise brother be loyal to the emperor. Squinting at it, Zhang Yuanzheng looked at himself with the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel a sense of heart-to-heart, the two laughed together, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all together with the praise painting.
Nazanhua is still proud, thinking about the supreme military merits in the future, thinking about flying Huang Tengda, but he doesn't want to think that his little life has become someone else's military reward in the near future, is this a kind of ignorance and sorrow?
Qian Tong continued: "Actually, Zhao'an pole, don't want to make a money bill, but what you have to do is to link the story, and at the same time, remember, Zhao'an can, that is to vote for the name, we must grasp this point to achieve great things." β
Zhang Yuan owed, nodded again and again to show that he understood, if he wanted people to recruit peace, he wanted to give people a little benefit money and food, which was what he should do. The name of the official body, that is the governor's business, but the money and grain have to contribute by themselves, but as long as the money and food are paid, then in fact, those poles will become the troops under their own names, which is a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone.
Now, what he lacks most is money and food, since he got this official status, his business name has been in and out of Mongolia as far as the Jurchen has been unimpeded, especially the Jurchen, after knowing his official status, he is even more stammering, hoping that he can reach the emperor, so that they can also be recruited, or surrendered.
In fact, the Jurchens have always had this thought, but the little emperor was arrogant, refused to admit defeat, and was deceived by Yuan Chonghuan's arrogant words of the literati who could only talk for five years, so he continued to fight.
Five years of Pingliao? Dream about it, it's a small Yunnan Rebellion that has been fought for seven years, not to mention the Jurchen with a vast territory and plenty of food?
The reason why I don't do a needle thread is this, the most important thing is, once the two face to face and make peace, what should my business be? You must know that only smuggling hostile business is profitable, and you will never do such a stupid thing under any circumstances.
Home and country? What the hell is going on? Glory and wealth are serious.
Qian Zhongjun didn't know that Zhang Yuan had so many thoughts at this moment, and continued to follow his own train of thought: "As long as those Zhao'an poles are dragged up to the thieves for a year and a half, after we recuperate, it will be another dragon and tiger fight, and another great achievement." β
As soon as this plan came out, everyone laughed happily.
This bridge section was originally not in history, and this can be regarded as a change in Lu Shi's crossing, but if Lu Shi knew such a result, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
